Spectre: There Are Black People In It

November 13, 2015 by Rashid

I saw Spectre yesterday.  It was okay!  I am not super into James Bond, though, and I’ve never seen a Bond film in theaters before.  Much of the movie made me feel like I really should have seen the previous Daniel Craig installments.

Truth moment?  I did fall asleep for a few minutes, so it’s possible I missed some black people.  I do remember some ambassadors from South Africa or something.  And of course, there was Naomie Harries as Miss Moneypenny!  What I liked most about her portrayal is that while it’s clear she crushes on Bond, she has her own life–her bed is not cold and barren in waiting for Bond.

That’s it, really.  It was a nice action film if you’re not into Bond otherwise.
